    CThis story makes depressing or frustation reading. In brief Oranga Tamariki simply failed to carry out their responsisbility (task). A difficult case of
    a teenage boy whose parents have disowned him.

    The taxpayer have spent alot of money for no result. The psychological support which the teenager appreciated was stopped.

    Let us all hoem that the folks at Oranga Tamariki are able to look in the mirror and make sure that they do alot better going forward.

    I don't pretend to understand all of the difficulties Oranga Tamariki face but the evidence of poor performance has been dogging them for several years. Kids matter, we need to fix this.
